Hundred Acre Hollows, Inc.

Nature preserve in Suntree / Melbourne, FL

January 26, 2020

January / February 2020 Newsletter

Hope your new year is starting out well. We are very busy at HAH! 

Sunset in the Hollows will be February 2 and 16 from 4 to 6 p.m. The sunset on Feb 2 is at 6:03 p.m.

We had many new people come to our January walks! We had people from 6 other states and the Netherlands. Lots of families enjoyed the cooler weather. On Jan 19, we also had a work afternoon. There were 24 people who came out to work that afternoon. Thank you, volunteers!

On Sat Jan 25 and Sat Feb 8, we will have work days from 9:00 a.m. to noon. There are many things we need help with. People of all ages can help, and students can earn school volunteer hours. We need people to weed the gardens, dig out small Brazilian Pepper trees in the basins, cut back pepper tree branches over our walking trails, pull out invasive Bitter Melon vines, and pull grape vines off the paths.

Additionally, we are surveying the Gopher Tortoise burrows. Four years ago, the Space Coast Eco Geeks teachers GPS tagged 249 burrows. Now we have a permit from FWC to measure the width of the burrows. We are also GPS locating them. We are planning to have the survey done by the end of Feb. Yuliang, our Board student advisory member, has developed a phone app to intake the information and upload it to a map. He plans to make a story map for the international Global Information System conference in CA next summer. We now know there are 88 burrows on the south side by the Devon’s Glen neighborhood! The widest burrow, and therefore the largest gopher tortoise so far, is right near the Rock Springs entrance. We need volunteers to help us. Please contact us at 321-757-3637.

There are many ways you can support us now. HAH now has a GOLD level on Guidestar which rates nonprofits. You can choose HAH for smile.amazon.com, and HAH will get a percentage of your purchase. You can donate on our website thru PayPal or on our HAH Facebook page. We are always excited when someone mails a check to us! Please support HAH in 2020!

Also, there is a beautiful bumblebee design on yellow reusable bags at www.wendybarnesdesign.com . Wendy donates 10% of every sale of that design to HAH! We received $43 last month from Wendy.

We were delighted to give a tour of HAH to Brevard We were delighted to give a tour of HAH to Brevard County Commissioner Curt Smith, District 4, and his staff. The native plant gardens were full of flowers, bees and butterflies. Even 2 large old gopher tortoises came out to say "hello". It was a beautiful morning.

Repost from @wendybarnesdesign - Whatever you are Repost from @wendybarnesdesign - Whatever you are planning for Halloween 2020, you can use this handmade treat bag featuring either spiders or bats that gives back to wildlife conservation partner @hundredacrehollows 10% of your purchase! Spiders & bats need people fighting for their local habitats too ;)
🕷Our plan is to surprise our daughter Halloween morning with one of these treat bags stuffed with goodies - similar to an Easter basket. Then, hopefully by evening she will be over the candy part🤞and be excited to dress up and walk around our neighborhood to ‘judge’ decorated houses. We are not comfortable going door to door and will bring a few surprises to give her along the way. That’s the plan now but it is 2020 so you know how plans are going this year...!! #halloween2020🎃 $12 while supplies last: www.wendybarnesdesign.com

Restoring the Habitat involves taking out invasive Restoring the Habitat involves taking out invasive plants and planting native plants! Our two native plant gardens look pretty cool from the air. We received a Keep Brevard Beautiful grant in 2019 for the garden by the gate. That area was totally overtaken by invasive Brazilian Pepper trees. The garden was planted in March 2019. The Space Coast Audubon Society planted the Audubon in Action garden in the south of HAH in Nov 2018. Thanks, Yuliang, for the beautiful drone photos.
